Google wants hackers to take their best shot at cracking Native Client
security. Google is offering prizes for the top five vulnerabilities

Google is hosting a contest to get its hands on security flaws affecting
its Native Client technology.

five cash prizes, the largest of which is $8,192. Second place is
